The Spring 2024 Seminar Series will feature Sahas Barve, Director of Avian Ecology at Archbold Biological Station. Dr. Barve’s current research revolves around a 56-year-long study of an endangered bird species at his field station in Florida. He will deliver a talk titled “Getting into fights for your children: Parental facilitation in a time of global change” on Wednesday, March 13, at 11 a.m. in Room 2217 of the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment Building located at 602 Duncan Drive, Auburn, AL.

Dr. Barve is hosted by Dr. Kelsey McCune, a Research Assistant Professor in the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment. Barve’s lecture will explore how wild birds behave while facilitating the dispersal and establishment of their offspring. The lecture will focus on two species, the Acorn Woodpecker and Florida Scrub-Jay, using long-term datasets to understand their behavioral responses in a changing world.

Faculty, students, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required.  Refreshments will be available after the seminar. Parking is available on the third and fourth floors in the South Quad Parking Deck across from the CFWE Building on Duncan Drive.
